Sold my Turbo, what would you do next?

I decided to switch cars....again.....and sold my perfect, reliable and fast 02 Turbo. What would you choose between the below three: (keeping in mind that it is only a weekend toy, no commuting, no rain etc etc)
1) Ferrari 360
2) 2008 GT3
3) 04-05 Turbo Cab

GT3 hands down. I know more than one 360 owner moved on to the GT3 and not missed the Ferrari one bit. Not taking anything away from Ferrari, but the GT3 is that good. The sound, feel all make for a great drive.

GT3. If you can afford a 430, then that is the car. Otherwise the GT3.

I know someone with a F430. It is an awesome car. However, he says maintenance is ridiculous but then again if you can afford a Ferrari you're probably not overly concerned with what it costs to fix it. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, in my opinion. I would go with either the Ferrari or the GT3. Good luck with your decision, that's a very good problem to have.

I think it depends on what you want out of the car. The 360 looks and sounds really nice and its a Ferrari, but an '08 GT3 is simply an amazing sports car with a driver's reputation that speaks for itself. Personally, i'd vote for a new GT3 over a 360.

I had the 997 GT3- great car, no doubt. However if you are not a track junkie, Ferrari is the call.
